“The side that defends has advantages over the attacking side. In general, we took advantage of these advantages. We began to act in a more combined manner.
“We did not make the same mistakes that the General Staff leadership made near Ilovaisk and at the Donetsk airport, when they supposedly planned an operation, and then the intervention began, for the sake of awards, I don’t know for what reason,” Polyakov said, as quoted by Radio Liberty.
As PolitNavigator reported, earlier in Kyiv it was stated that 3,5 thousand militias were advancing on the positions of Ukrainian troops near Debaltseve. At the same time, according to the DPR, a group of ATO forces numbering up to 8,5 thousand people found themselves in the “cauldron”.
